- Mt. Lushan (Lushan Mountain) is located in the south of Jiujiang City of Jiangxi Province. It stands by the Yangtze River and the Poyang Lake. It is a key national scenic resort and has been included in the List of World Natural Heritages. Mt. Lushan is a horst block mountain and has been known for its majesty, uniqueness, precipitous terrain, and elegance. It has 26 peaks, 20 valleys, 16 grottos, 22 grotesque rocks, 22 waterfalls, 18 springs, and 14 lakes and pools. The famous Three-step Waterfall (Chinese : 三叠泉瀑布) has a drop of 155 meters. In the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 – 220), Mt. Lushan became one of the Buddhist centers of China.
- Lu Shan Yun Wu, meaning "Lushan Cloud Mist," is a well-known, high-quality green tea from the Lushan Mountains in Jiangxi Province, China, known for its sweet, thick, and umami flavor profile.
- Made of tender shoots, Lu Shan Yun Wu (also called Lu Mountain Clouds-Mist) is characterized by elegant and prominent appearance, unveiled silver pekoe, jade green color and luster, lingering fragrance, fresh and sweet savor, as well as long-lasting aftertaste. It shares some resemblances of famous Longjing tea in favor and tastes richer than the latter. With its excellent quality characteristics “delicate aroma, mellow taste, jade green color and clear liquor”, Lushan Cloud-fog Tea has become popular in China and other countries. The liquor is abundant in tea polyphenol, leaf extract and long-lasting intense fragrance, with the content of tea alkaloid and vitamin C higher than that of common types of tea.
- Lushan Mountain is featured by high altitude, great seasonal temperature difference, strong irradiation of ultraviolet, could and mist suffusion in half a year, and murmuring spring. This environment offers advantageous growing conditions for tea trees and facilitates the compounding of aromatic substances in them, thus contributing to the top quality of Lushan Cloud-fog Tea.
- Perhaps the reason for the popularity of the Yun Wu name is a Chinese saying 高山云雾出好茶 (gāoshān yúnwù chū hǎo chá), which can be roughly translated as ‘high mountain, cloud and mist leads to good tea’, clearly signifying the importance of the climatic conditions in good tea making!
- Lu Shan Yun Wu green tea has a very neat, curled and twisted very appealing leaf that consists only of smaller leaves and buds. The dry leaf has a vegetal scent but also hints of lightly toasted wheat. The brewed liquor has a very light yellow-green colour with excellent clarity. The overall impression is that of a vegetal profile, but one that is very smooth, mellow and light. Nice fruity notes lend sweetness to the liquor while the more toasted aspect brings light notes of toasted almonds and roasted chestnuts. There is creamy smoothness that makes this very drinkable. There is hardly any astringency or dryness on the clean aftertaste, making for a very refreshing cup!
